Gilmore says he expected difficult Quins start

Harlequins head coach Jason Gilmore has defended his team's winless start to the Premiership season, citing the implementation of new tactical systems and the reintegration of international players. The club currently sits at the bottom of the standings following a 48-0 loss to Gloucester, which marked their most significant league defeat in over two decades.

Despite the poor results, Gilmore remains committed to the current coaching staff, which includes performance director Robbie Deans and assistants Rob Hunter and Brad Cooper. The team is now preparing for their upcoming match against Sale as they look to recover from their recent struggles.
